Who we are

Who is Knowlix?

Knowlix is an AI company from Munich. We build Knowlix AI, an all-in-one business platform with an AI Teammate built into every app. The AI Teammate creates records, answers questions about your business and builds reports from a single prompt.

We started as an AI research lab in 2021 with one goal: use AI to eliminate the busy work that drains business owners and their teams. Today we combine our own AI with Odoo, the open-source business software, and we are a certified Odoo Partner.

How we build AI

AI you can trust with your business

AI only saves time if you can rely on it. These are the principles behind every feature we ship.

01

Full context

One AI on one data model. The AI Teammate sees customers, orders, invoices and projects together, so its answers fit your business.

02

Humans stay in charge

Before anything critical, such as sending an email or an invoice, the AI Teammate asks for your sign-off.

03

Rights respected

The AI works through each person’s own access rights. It only shows data and takes actions that person is allowed to.

04

Every action logged

Everything the AI does is logged, attributable and reviewable.

05

European by design

Our AI runs on EU servers and your data is not used to train AI models.

06

Open standards first

We build on Odoo and extend it instead of forking it, so you benefit from Odoo’s ongoing development.

Don't take our word for it

Leaders love it.

As a SMBs I can't afford to lose time on admin. Before implementing Odoo, managing proposals and orders manually through emails and Excel was exhausting and time-consuming. Now I use one centralized tool where I can easily track my proposals, orders, and deliveries. It has streamlined my workflow, saved me countless hours, and allowed me to focus more on the work that actually matters.
Lisa Meier
Founder & Designer, Oneshot Design
We spent months testing tools that promised results but never delivered what we actually needed. Everything felt disconnected and overly complex, and we were drowning in administrative work. Deep down, we knew what the solution should look like. We just needed the right partner to bring it to life. Then Knowlix changed everything.
Jan Steinbach
Managing Director, ZukunftsHaus
By working with Knowlix, and their AI features, we've streamlined our operations, significantly reduced downtime, and elevated the quality of service we provide to our customers.
Markus Schetter
CEO, Wilhelm Schetter

With Knowlix, we found not only great employees but also people who fit our culture. The recruitment process was quick.
